Sometimes it's not always gangs or illicit dope growers buying those homes and setting up grow ops.

TV shows a "white trash" type character who was shot.

They bust gang homes here every month and the problem is getting worse. It is a problem
that remains under the radar in this community. In addition the gangs have been conducting
all kinds of activities here. The recent spate of murders were gang related as well. There
were a lot of deals going. The other shooting last fall on Leon now turns out it was gang
related as well.
Must be Muslim Cliffy, not this time, although there are a lot of ethnic groups participating
in the gang activity. Everyone from Hells Angels to defined ethnic gangs are making money
here in the Okanagan.

I just listened to part of a news conference in Kelowna, regarding the shooting this afternoon.
Police are going to be working through the night and there is another conference for around
noon tomorrow. It looks like its gang related for sure now. One is dead and five or more are
in serious condition.
A white Porsche was fired on by gunmen just after three this afternoon and the suspects fled
into the north end residential district. Police also found a cigarette boat that fled the scene,
on the west side of the lake (Okanagan Lake).
Police will not confirm the identity of the person killed, and when police were asked if it was one
of the Bacon Brothers, police replied there were not making comment to confirm or deny.
They are also asking the general public if they have any video would they please come forward.
That tells me they did not get what they wanted from the public camera's.
That is a roundup of what I know so far.

No different than the Flats. If the news reported 25% of what really goes on people would freak right out.

They found the burned out SUV in Lake Country a few miles north of the city.
Unconfirmed reports are hinting they may have been after John Bacon and if
so he might be the one they killed. Should be an interesting news conference
tomorrow morning.

It is now being reported the man killed in Kelowna in a gang style shooting is John Bacon.
a gangster from the lower mainland

As long as they off each other, who cares?

They seldom just off each other without leaving a trail of bodies that were in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Their actions do not take place in a vacume.

How would you like them to "off each other" in your immediate neighborhood??

Somebody who gets caught in the crossfire would definetly give a **** and that could be anyone.
That is why I think everybody should be packing. Then there are no innocent victims. Nothing like a good old fashioned western shoot out to put a dent in crime.

Well that should do it for the Bacon brothers for awhile, let us hope. According to Global, one of the dead guys brothers is already in jail and another is facing a jail sentence. No tears lost over the death of this piece of human garbage. Just glad no bystanders were hurt in the mayhem.

What do you mean there are 'no innocent victims'?????????? How would feel had a child been caught in the cross-fire - apparently this hotel is a very popular place so anyone could have been caught up in the shooting.

........and reduce the population . How about you start this crime reduction/ population control tactic.

.......what do you expect from a gun loving mentality. ??? and crime control by western style shoot outs . I guess they don't get enough violence & destruction on the telie.

OOPS! My bad.........sorry Cliffy, I thought it was rather uncharacteristic of you.
I do believe that people should be allowed to own guns to defend themselves and their families but packin' on the streets would be chaos until all the bad shots were wiped out.

I do think the army could be called in and round up all those gangs, ship them to Iraq or Afghanistan, arm them to the nines and just leave them there. If they think they are all that tough, they will learn real quick how wrong they are.

I don't necessarily agree with your first statement, Cliffy.........seen too many 'accidents' happen when guns are readily available and it is rarely the bad guys who end up dead - more often it is a child who somehow got their hands on a gun.

I do agree with rounding up all gang members - to hell with their rights - they don't give a good gole darn about ours. I'd ship them to an Arctic island though - the folks in Afghanistan have enough on their plates already.
